Since the eInk display doesn’t use a lot of juice, your Kindle can last for days on a charge. Still, there are times when the battery may drain quickly, usually due to the wireless radio. If you’re in an area where the integrated 3G technology can’t find a signal—on an airplane, or in an area with low or non-existent 3G coverage—the radio will constantly search for one, thus draining the battery much faster. To turn wireless off, press Menu > Wireless Off. Or you can turn the Kindle completely off by holding the power slide to the right for about five seconds until the screen goes blank.

After all the hype about the iPad it’s good that the Kindle is getting some publicity for being a sensibly priced ebook reader. Thanks for the tips on getting the most out of it.

I agree. I’m glad Laptop is acknowledging Kindle users. As an ebook, it’s a good product.

you can now convert your kindle clippings into Microsoft Word, Excel and PDF files.
This website is for free, and it’s called http://www.clippingsconverter.com
i really love it, because it converts your clippings into a very organized and read-able format – good for students like myself.

I also use clippingsconverter.com to organize my kindle clippings, and just to add up to jen202′s post, it is also possible to upload your clippings to evernote using that site. I think this is also something that Amazon kindle owners should know.
